Mrs Mehta is about to move to a new flat on West Hendon Estate, where she has lived for over 30 years. Tenants and leaseholders in 680 properties on the estate are being moved out to make way for a 2000 home development by Barratts and Barnet Council, only 200 of which will be social housing. Many of her leaseholder neighbours have been forced to sell at rock-bottom prices and only secure tenants are being rehoused on the estate.
